Configuring ASA 5505 by importing config file

[johncarl1]

I have an ASA 5505 Ver 8.4 appliance configured the way I want it to be configured vpn and all.  We have several other identical appliances that need to be configured.  Is there a way to export the configuration from the configured appliance and importing it into the others?  Thanks.

ASA5505# copy running-config tftp
ASA5505# copy running-config tftp ?   !--this will allow you to save the running-config to a tftp server.  I recommend tftpd32: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

 
ASA5505# copy tftp  ?

  disk0:          Copy to disk0: file system
  flash:          Copy to flash: file system
  ftp:            Copy to ftp: file system
  running-config  Update (merge with) current system configuration
  smb:            Copy to smb: file system
  startup-config  Copy to startup configuration
  system:         Copy to system: file system
  tftp:           Copy to tftp: file system
ASA5505# copy tftp run  !--This will merge with the current system.  This can be good and or bad.  Personally, what I do is get the config the way I like it and create a spreadsheet, define the variables, change them per device and away you go.  From this point it is just copy and paste.

Just remember to negate some of the default config such as:

no dhcpd address 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.33 inside

domain-name example.com

aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
crypto key generate rsa modulus 1024
